Having had a great time in Bangkok over New Year's Eve, it was time to get the map out and decide where to explore next. We decided to head about four hours east of Bangkok by bus to the town of Kanchanaburi. The town is situated on the banks of the river Khwae and is famous for its railway bridge spanning the river. The bridge was built by the Japanese during the second world war using forced loc... Read Full Entry

Hello. We are Ross and Liz and on the 20th November 2013 (a wet and grey British winter's day) we finally set off on our long planned trip around the globe. We started our adventure in Buenos Aires, Argentina and have since made our way around South America, South East Asia, Sri Lanka and overland from the UK to Hong Kong, where we hopped over to Japan and then down to New Zealand. After five fantastic months camper vanning around NZ we are heading over to Australia for three months before finally heading home (via Thailand and Frankfurt). We travel at a nice slow pace, visiting all the s... full info

It was a great sight. We'd been searching for elephants all day and finally, after giving up hope, this one popped up! :-)

Great adventures!
I love your way of travel--getting out the map to see where to go next and exploring the less-visited parts of Thailand. Love also that you included a map for those of us who don't yet know the East. How great that Ross can drive a motorbike and even fix it when necessary--what freedom! Waterfalls, a wild elephant and clanging a gong--great adventures!

Hi Tara. Thanks for your comments. Yes we do love those days when we get the maps out and try to decide where to head next, although sometimes it can lead us to some pretty random places. We have also been enjoying reading some of your SA adventures, you have been visiting some great places that we remember well e.g Mina Clavero, near Cordoba. P.s motorbike fixing seems to mostly involve swearing at it for a while!!

I've been quite content with my life here in Spain, but now I've read this post...! :-(

Apologies Russ! Travel blogs do seem to have that effect. To consol you, we will eventually have to come home and it will be to rainy old Britain instead of sunny Spain. ;-)

Oh no the russians are there too!
How Ironic, I had just read one of my old blogs about Russian tourists before I read yours.......Seems we observed the same ''peculiarities''. Lovely trip, great blog and how awesome to see an elephant. Beautiful pics too!

Ha ha. Yes "peculiarities" is a great description. South East Asia will give us some lasting memories, of all kinds.
